Threat But No Bomb At DMV In Wethersfield

WETHERSFIELD — A bomb threat prompted the evacuation of the state Department of Motor Vehicles building on State Street Thursday afternoon, but no explosive devices were found, authorities said.

The threat came in to the office at about 3:15 p.m. Thursday, according to DMV spokesman William Seymour. The caller said there was a bomb in the building and that it would explode, Seymour said.

The building was evacuated, and closed to the public for the day, he said.

State police searched the building but found no suspicious devices, authorities said. After the building was cleared at about 5:15 p.m., workers were allowed back in to retrieve personal belongings, Seymour said.

No arrests have been made, but state police were still investigating, Seymour said.
